Operative Temperature of a Lizard Using Fei et al. (2012)

Description

The function predicts body temperature (C, operative environmental temperature) of a lizard based on \insertCiteFei2012;textualTrenchR.

Usage

Tb_lizard_Fei(T_a, T_g, S, lw, shade, m, Acondfact, Agradfact)

Arguments

T_a	numeric air temperature at lizard height (C).
T_g	numeric surface temperature (C).
S	numeric total (direct + diffuse) solar radiation flux (W m-2).
lw	numeric downward flux of near-infrared radiation (W m-2).
shade	numeric proportion of shade.
m	numeric lizard mass (g).
Acondfact	numeric proportion of the lizard projected area that is in contact with the ground. Acondfact = 0.1 for standing and Acondfact = 0.4 for lying on ground.
Agradfact	numeric proportion of the lizard projected area exposed to radiation from the ground. Agradfact = 0.3 for standing and Agradfact = 0.0 for lying on ground.

Details

Thermal radiative flux is calculated following \insertCiteFei2012;textualTrenchR based on \insertCiteBartlett1967;textualTrenchR and \insertCitePorter1973;textualTrenchR.

Value

numeric predicted body (operative environmental) temperature (K).
